the never-ending paperwork for the garage had fallen to TadMC-
with Zee being outed by the Gray Lords and being moved to the reservation he'd gotten the scholarship that allowed him to head to the Ivy League college of his choiceMC-
best crabby-Tad voiceMC-
fae were considered a minority, so his official status as half-fae and his grades had gotten him in—hard work was keeping him thereSB-
something happened to him when he was at college; it may had something to do with why he wasn't on the reservation with the rest of the faeFB-69
speaks Old GermanFB-
was fine writing the garage appointments on paper rather than using the appointment schedule that Gabriel had set upNB-
swears in GermanNB-

Spirituality & Personality:
can't imagine a place where Tad wouldn't be all right. Nothing scares him, nothing bothers him, and he's frighteningly competent at whatever he chooses to doMC-280
had had a very rocky love life when he was working for MercyBB-261
has a certain disregard and distaste for authorityIK-158
when he wanted people to watch him, they did; it wasn't magic it was force of personalityFB-187

Tad has the magic to remove the silver from Mercy, but he doesn’t know enough to ad-lib such a spellFB-
can discern lies but not with vampiresFB-
Tad doesn’t usually lie, though since he is only half-fae, he can, and he is a fair hand at misdirectionNB-
found it easier to magically manipulate aluminum over steelNB-
government agents, and if they get a glimpse of what you can do, they are going to want you. You are too powerful for anyone to let you run around loose: human, shapeshifter, or faeNB-

Relationships:

With Mercy:
He’d actually been the one to hire me. He’d been working alone when I’d come needing a belt for my Rabbit and I’d helped him out with a customer. I think he’d been nine years old. His mother had just passed away and Zee wasn’t dealing well with it. Tad had had to rehire me three more times in the next month before Zee resigned himself to me—a woman and, he thought at first, a human IK-
thinks Mercy can be too innocentIK-
he and Mercy emailed once a week since he was at school and she called him once a month to catch upFB-68
Mercy considers him the little brother she never had and he's closer to her than her half-sisters; they had more in common: neither quite fitting in to either the world of the humans or the world of the supernaturalFB-68
gave Mercy a Big Word of the Day calendar the previous ChristmasFB-
Mercy and Adam can flirt with the periodic table or a restaurant menu. We’ve learned to live with itFB-
used his magic to help burn Mercy's Rabbit to ashFB-
helping Mercy again in the garageFB-
Medea, Mercy's cat, likes himNB-
if Mercy ever finds out who hurt Tad she might sic a werewolf pack on themNB-
Tad was incredibly powerful to do what he’d done. He was also young, and with his father locked away in Fairyland he was vulnerable: no one but family could know what he wasNB-
Mercy wished that they'd had Tad come over and stay with them instead of going to Fairyland; but it didn't like Tad didn’t have much of a choiceNB-
without Tad’s help, Guayota would have defeated MercyNB-

With Jesse:
He’d flirted lightly with Jesse when he’d been home lastFB-

With the Wolves:
Tad really respected AdamIK-
Tad belonged to Mercy and thus to AdamFB-
Tad drew the silver out of the wolves who needed it—including Ben. Kelly got the worst of it, as Tad’s skill improved with practiceFB-
impressed with Asil's swordmanship; a bit of hero worship coming off TadFB-

With Zee:
Zee is worried about that boy. You know he got that scholarship so they could have their token fae to tow around and point outMC-
they share and earthy scentIK-
the affinity for metals he shared with his father. I don’t know whether he’d gotten his father’s immortalityIK-
Tad had been his father’s right-hand man in the VW shop when he was nineFB-
Zee told Mercy that Tad could keep Jesse safeB-
No one but his father knows exactly how powerful he isNB-
went to Fairyland either voluntarily or involuntarily to get out of Guayota's view; they're not sure if he can get back out againNB-

With the Fae:
had visited Connora often; she was kind to himIK-
under the Gray Lords’ edict to stay away when Zee was arrested for murderIK-
Uncle Mike set a geas on him to not talk about the fae to MercyIK-
doesn't know of any fae who doesn’t enjoy spilling blood at some levelIK-
was worried for Phin's safetySB-
Because even though they don’t care a fig for the half-bloods, the pure-blooded fae send us lists of fae who did not answer the Gray Lords’ call. We, the rejected, are to watch out for these fae and turn in any purebloods we seeFB-
at Zee's cache house: Fae magic, old magic, and it’s crawling from the basement up to Tad’s hand like a cat seeking a treat; It likes you, but it isn’t very happy about usFB-
it sounded like someone noticed him using magic, and he has to go talk to themNB-

With the Fae:
If someone told them he was not as powerless as most of the halfies, they would want him to join them on the reservationNB-
the Smith’s son has been requested and required to attend the fae court in the reservationNB-
Tad is unhappy, and those who hold him are not listening. He is being held against his will, but those who hold him don’t know Siebold AdelbertsmiterNB-
Beauclaire offered Mercy; Though I include this as part of our bargain: if you have not heard from the Smith’s son in two months’ time, you may cry out the name you know me by and I will come and tell you how matters standNB-
